Advanz Therapies is about the promotion of optimal health and performance. A holistic view on health and performance means that clients have access to much more than just acute injury and pain management. We specialise in complex issues and pathologies, and regard ourselves to regularly help clients where previous treatments have failed. Our team of Physiotherapists, Pilates instructors and Massage therapists are extremely experienced and motivated. This creates a fantastic environment to recover from injury and enhance performance!

We have two clinic locations – in Maroubra and Waverley. Our Maroubra clinic offers dedicated private treatment rooms, and group and individual training spaces. Our Waverley clinic is located with lifecycle fitness gym. This gives our therapists the ability to rehabilitate injuries from the onset of pain in clinic and move the treating environment to a pro-active high level rehabilitation program within the gym setting. This inevitably creates greater opportunity for achieving lasting results with less chance of recurrence.

Whether it is walking, running, swimming, riding, surfing, playing golf or just playing with your kids and getting your normal life back, Advanz Therapies is dedicated to achieving your smallest and greatest goals in the most time efficient and effective way possible.
